Instead of a "closed" geographical location, such as the administration building, there is also an "open" geographical location with strategic telecommunication meaning, e.g. Places in large cities with a high volume of traffic, a large accumulation of commercial units and a large movement of people, possible for the installation of a cellular DECT / GAP multisystem CMI.

- the DECT / GAP System is a hybrid system with regard to the multiple access methods, in which radio messages according to the FDMA principle on ten frequencies in the frequency band between 1.88 and 1.9 GHz are based on the TDMA principle according to FIG.
- the time sequence is determined by a multi-time frame MZR that occurs every 160 ms and the 16 time frame ZR with a duration of 10 each
- information relating to a C, M, N, P, Q channel defined in the DECT standard is transmitted separately from base station BS and mobile part MT transmitted for several of these channels, so e the transmission follows according to a list of priorities with M>C> N and P> N.
- Each of the 16 time frames ZR of the multi-time frame MZR is subdivided into 24 time slots ZS each with a time duration of 417 ⁇ s, of which 12 time slots ZS (time slots 0 ... 11) for the transmission direction "base station BS -> mobile unit MT" and a further 12 time slots ZS (time slots 12 ... 23) for the transmission direction "mobile unit MT -> base station BS".
- Information with a bit length of 480 bits is transmitted in each of these time slots ZS according to the DECT standard. Of these 480 bits, 32 bits are transmitted as synchronization information in a SYNC field and 388 bits as useful information in a D field.
- the remaining 60 bits are transmitted as additional information in a Z field and as protection information in a “guard time” field.
- the 388 bits of the D field transmitted as useful information are in turn divided into a 64 bit long A field , a 320 bit long B field and a 4 bit long "X-CRC" word.
- the 64-bit A field is composed of an 8-bit data header, a 40-bit data record with data for the C, Q, M, N, P channels and a 16-bit long "A-CRC" word together.
- FIG. 5 shows two time frames ZR-A, ZR-B and time slots ZS-A, ZS-B for the transmission direction based on FIGS
- FIGURE 6 shows a much more practical situation - based on FIGURES 3 and 4.
- two DECT / GAP systems "C”, “D” are arranged in a cellular DECT / GAP multisystem such that the two systems “C”, “D” work in the same environment and that due to the lack of synchronization of the base stations present in these systems, time frames ZR-C, ZR-D and time slots ZS-C, ZS-D diverge.
- the more practical case is now assumed that the amount of radio traffic is distributed evenly between the two systems “C”, “D” and the assignment of the channels - in contrast to the situation in FIG FIGURE 5 - alternating between the two systems.
- channel allocation (time slot allocation) takes place through the two systems “C”, “D” according to the representation of the dark rectangles in FIG. 6, there is a total of eight channels (time slots) that can be occupied by the two systems .
- the yield of channels occupied is less than a third compared to synchronized DECT / GAP systems "C”, "D".
- This channel yield which is lower compared to comparable synchronized systems, is one reason for the requirement that with a local concentration of wireless telecommunication systems, e.g. B. DECT / GAP systems according to FIGURES 1 and 2, the base stations of these systems must be synchronized.
- the demand for synchronized base stations within a cellular DECT / GAP multisystem according to FIG. 3 is also also justified by the fact that for the operation of the cellular DECT / GAP multisystem - in the sense of a mobile telecommunications - in analogy to the cellular mobile radio system - e.g. B. according to the GSM standard (Groupe Specicale Mobile or Global System for Mobile Communication; cf. Informatik Spektrum 14 (1991) June, No. 3, Berlin, DE; A.
- the frequency and the time window with the least interference are sought.
- the level (strength) of the interference depends primarily on whether (a) a call is already being made at another base station or (b) a mobile part comes into visual contact with a previously shadowed base station by movement.
- a resulting increase in interference can be countered with the TDMA transmission method (Time Division Multiple Access) on which the DECT / GAP system is based.
- the TDMA method only one time slot is used for the actual transmission; the remaining eleven time slots can be used for measurements. This enables an alternative frequency / time slot pair to be determined, to which the connection can be switched. This pushes within the framework of an adaptive channel allocation according to the DECT standard (cf. horrenentechnik Elektronik 42 (1992) Jan./Feb., No. 1, Berlin; U. Pilger: "Structure of the DECT standard", page 28 chap. 3.2.6) by a "connection handover" (intra-cell handover).
- the handset provided for such cellular DECT / GAP systems must be active at all times Telecommunication connection to a base station be able to change the base station due to a radio area change / cell change within the multi-radio area (establishment of a telecommunication connection to another base station if the handset is in an overlap area of two radio areas / radio cells) and pass the already existing active telecommunications connection seamlessly to the base station (seamless handover).
- the DECT standard provides for this according to the publication Nach ⁇ technik Electronics 42 (1992) Jan./Feb., No. 1, Berlin; U. Pilger: "Structure of the DECT standard", page 28, chapter 3.2.6, stipulates that the handset will automatically work if the transmission quality of the existing telecommunications connection deteriorates due to indicators indicating the transmission quality (e.g. signal field strength, CRC Values etc.) sets up a second telecommunication connection parallel to the existing connection.
- the transmission quality of the existing telecommunications connection deteriorates due to indicators indicating the transmission quality (e.g. signal field strength, CRC Values etc.) sets up a second telecommunication connection parallel to the existing connection.
- the transmission quality of the existing telecommunications connection deteriorates due to indicators indicating the transmission quality (e.g. signal field strength, CRC Values etc.) sets up a second telecommunication connection parallel to the existing connection.
- DCA method decentralized channel allocation
- the mobile part can then set up at least one further connection to another base station without losing synchronicity with the origin base station.
- Such a synchronous cellular DECT / GAP multisystem can be implemented according to the document ntz vol.48 (1995), number 1, pages 47-49 "DECT technology for the European market" by an additional wire connection between the base stations (cf. the above-mentioned publication, page 48, last paragraph to page 49, first paragraph and picture 2).
- Time character information e.g. to synchronize the DCF77 signal (cf. claim 1 in connection with the description of FIG. 3).
- a cellular DECT / GAP multi-system either requires additional effort in the radio part of the base stations in the DECT / GAP systems to receive the time signal information or additional system effort for synchronization via the S 0 bus.
- the object on which the invention is based is to avoid the synchronization effort required in the prior art (set out above) for locally concentrated asynchronous wireless telecommunication systems.
- Telecommunication connections including handover Telecommunications connections are set up with priority on the same FDMA frequency.
- the invention relates generally to all locally concentrated, asynchronous wireless telecommunication systems with the properties and characteristics specified in the introduction to the description, in which wireless telecommunication connections are established by the wireless transmission of telecommunication signals according to a hybrid multiple access method containing the FDMA principle .
- These telecommunication systems mentioned also include e.g. systems that are often referred to as third system generation in the context of universal mobile telecommunications, probably based on the FDMA, TDMA and CDMA principles.
- FIG. 8 shows the basic circuit structure of the DECT / GAP base station and DECT / GAP mobile part of the DECT / GAP systems according to FIG. 7.
- FIGURE 7 shows, starting from FIGURES 3 to 6, two time frames ZR1, ZR2 or ZR3, ZR4 and time slots ZS1, ZS2 or ZS3, ZS4 for the transmission Direction “base station — ⁇ handset” of the two DECT / GAP systems TKS1, TKS2 or TKS3, TKS4 according to FIG. 3, which work in the same environment as the cellular DECT / GAP multisystems.
- time frames ZR1, ZR2 and ZR3, ZR4 and time slots ZS1, ZS2 or ZS3, ZS4 of the two systems TKS1, TKS2 or TKS3, TKS4 are offset against one another in such a way that a time slot ZS1 or TKS3 occupied by the system TKS1 or TKS3 has two positions for potential time slots ZS2 or ZS4 of the system TKS2 or TKS4 blocked.
- the "dummy bearers" defined in the DECT standard (cf. ETS 300 175-3, chapters 5.5 and 5.7; October 1992) are positioned and the handover connections are established.
- This method simultaneously reduces the problem that arises from the fact that the time slots of the individual DECT / GAP systems constantly change their relative position to one another due to the lack of synchronization.
- This drift of the individual time bases means that time slots which were "free” when the connection was established can drift into one another after a certain time, which leads to the destruction of the data and thus to interference in the transmission.
- FIGURE 8 shows, starting from FIGURE 2 and taking FIGURE 3 into account, the basic circuit configuration of the base stations BS1, BS2 or BS3, BS4 modified to carry out the above-described functional steps.
- the radio part FKT has measuring means MM. These measuring devices MM are connected via an analog / digital converter to comparison devices VGM in the central control ZST.
- the comparison means VGM have a connection to a memory SP and to the mi microprocessor ⁇ P.
- the microprocessor ⁇ P in turn has a connection to the measuring means MM in the radio part FKT via control means STM of the central control ZST.

Pilger: " Structure of the DECT Standard ", pages 23 to 29 in connection with ETS 300 175-1 ... 9, October 1992; (2): telcom Report 16 (1993) No. 1, JH Koch:" Digital convenience for cordless telecommunications ¬ tion - DECT standard opens up new areas of use ", pages 26 and 27; (3): tec 2/93 - Ascom's technical magazine" Ways to universal mobile telecommunications ", pages 35 to 42) or GAP systems (Generic Access Profiles, * ETSI publication prETS300444, April 1995, Final Draft, ETSI, FR), which can be constructed, for example, as shown in FIG.
Nach dem DECT/GAP-Standard können gemäß der Darstellung in FIGUR 1 an einer DECT/GAP-Basisstation BS über eine für den Frequenzbereich zwischen 1,88 und 1,90 GHz ausgelegte DECT/GAP-LuftSchnittstelle maximal 12 Verbindungen nach dem TDMA/FDMA/TDD-Verfahren (Time Division Multiple Access/Pre- quency Division Multiple Access/Time Division Duplex) paral¬ lel zu DECT/GAP-Mobilteilen MT1...MT12 aufgebaut werden. Die Zahl 12 ergibt sich aus einer Anzahl "k" von für den Duplex- betrieb eines DECT/GAP-Systemε zur Verfügung stehenden Zeit- schlitzen bzw. Telekommunikationskanälen (k = 12) . Die Ver- bindung können dabei intern und/oder extern sein. Bei einer internen Verbindung können zwei an der Basisstation BS regi¬ strierte Mobilteile, z. B. das Mobilteil MT2 und das Mobil¬ teil MT3, miteinander kommunizieren. Für den Aufbau einer ex¬ ternen Verbindung ist die Basisstation BS mit einem Telekom- munikationsnetz TKN, z.B. in leitungsgebundener Form über ei¬ ne Telekotttmunikationsanschlußeinheit TAE bzw. eine Nebenstel¬ lenanlage NStA mit einem leitungsgebundenen Telekotrominikati- onsnetz oder gemäß der WO 95/05040 in drahtloser Form als Re- peaterstation mit einem übergeordneten Telekommunikations- netz, verbunden. Bei der externen Verbindung kann man mit ei¬ nem Mobilteil, z. B. mit dem Mobilteil MT1, über die Basis- Station BS, die Telekommunikationsanschlußeinheit TAE bzw. Nebenstellenanlage NStA mit einem Teilnehmer in dem Telekom¬ munikationsnetz TKN kommunizieren. Besitzt die Basisstation BS - wie im Fall des Gigaset 951 (Siemens Schnurlostelefon, vgl. telcom Report 16, (1993) Heft 1, Seiten 26 und 27 - nur einen Anschluß zu der Telekommunikationsanschlußeinheit TAE bzw. der Nebenstellenanlage NStA, so kann nur eine externe Verbindung aufgebaut werden. Hat die Basisstation BS - wie im Fall des Gigaset 952 (Siemens Schnurlostelefon; vgl. telcom Report 16, (1993), Heft 1, Seiten 26 und 27) - zwei Anschlüs- se zu dem Telekommunikationsnetz TKN, so ist zusätzlich zu der externen Verbindung mit dem Mobilteil MT1 eine weitere externe Verbindung von einem an die Basisstation BS ange¬ schlossenen leitungsgebundenen Telekommunikationsendgerät TKE möglich. Dabei ist es prinzipiell auch vorstellbar, daß ein zweites Mobilteil, z. B. das Mobilteil MT12, anstelle des Te¬ lekommunikationsendgerätes TKE den zweiten Anschluß für eine externe Verbindung nutzt. Während die Mobilteil MT1...MT12 mit einer Batterie oder einem Akkumulator betrieben werden, ist die als schnurlose Klein-Vermittlungsanlage ausgebildete Basisstation BS über ein Netzanschlußgerät NAG an ein Span¬ nungsnetz SPN angeschlossen.According to the DECT / GAP standard, a maximum of 12 connections according to the TDMA / FDMA can be made at a DECT / GAP base station BS via a DECT / GAP air interface designed for the frequency range between 1.88 and 1.90 GHz, as shown in FIGURE 1 / TDD method (time division multiple access / frequency division multiple access / time division duplex) can be set up in parallel with DECT / GAP mobile parts MT1 ... MT12. The number 12 results from a number "k" of time slots or telecommunication channels available for the duplex operation of a DECT / GAP system (k = 12). The connection can be internal and / or external. With an internal connection, two mobile parts registered at the base station BS, e.g. B. the mobile part MT2 and the mobile part MT3, communicate with each other. For the establishment of an external connection, the base station BS is equipped with a telecommunications network TKN, for example in a line-bound form via a telecommunications communication connection unit TAE or an extension system NStA with a line-bound telecommunications system. onsnetz or according to WO 95/05040 in wireless form as a repeater station connected to a higher-level telecommunications network. With the external connection you can use a handset, e.g. B. with the mobile part MT1, via the base station BS, the telecommunications connection unit TAE or private branch exchange NStA with a subscriber in the telecommunications network TKN. If the base station BS has - as in the case of the Gigaset 951 (Siemens cordless telephone, see telcom Report 16, (1993) Issue 1, pages 26 and 27 - only one connection to the telecommunication connection unit TAE or the private branch exchange NStA, only an external one can If the base station BS has two connections to the TKN telecommunications network - as in the case of the Gigaset 952 (Siemens cordless telephone; see telcom Report 16, (1993), number 1, pages 26 and 27) - this is additional In addition to the external connection to the mobile part MT1, a further external connection from a line-bound telecommunication terminal TKE connected to the base station BS is possible, and it is in principle also conceivable that a second mobile part, for example the MT12 handset, instead of the Te¬ telecommunications terminal TKE uses the second connection for an external connection, while the mobile units MT1 ... MT12 are operated with a battery or an accumulator , the base station BS, which is designed as a cordless small switching system, is connected to a voltage network SPN via a network connection device NAG.

Von den im Schichtenmodell definierten Schichten sind nur die unmittelbar für die Basisstation BS und das Mobilteil MT wesentlichen ersten vier Schichten dargestellt. Das Si- gnalsteuerungsteeil SST ist in der Basisstation BS als Time Switch Controller TSC und in dem Mobilteil MT als Burst Mode Controller BMC ausgebildet.

Althammer, D. Brückmann: "Highly optimized IC's for DECT cordless phones" the basic circuit structure of the base station BS and the mobile part MT. The base station BS and the mobile part MT then have a radio part FKT with an antenna ANT assigned for transmitting and receiving radio signals, a signal processing device SVE and a central control ZST, which are connected to one another in the manner shown. In the radio part FKT are essentially the known ones Facilities such as transmitter SE, receiver EM and synthesizer SYN included. The signal processing device SVE contains, inter alia, a coding / decoding device CODEC. The central control ZST has a microprocessor μP for the base station BS and for the mobile part MT with a program module PGM constructed according to the OS1 / ISO layer model, a signal control part SST and a digital signal processor DSP, which are connected to one another in the manner shown are. Of the layers defined in the layer model, only the first four layers that are essential for the base station BS and the mobile part MT are shown. The signal control part SST is designed in the base station BS as a time switch controller TSC and in the mobile part MT as a burst mode controller BMC. The essential difference between the two signal control parts TSC, BMC is that the base station-specific signal control part TSC takes on additional switching functions (switch functions) compared to the handset-specific signal control part BMC.
Die prinzipielle Funktionsweise der vorstehend aufgeführten Schaltungseinheiten ist beispielsweise in der vorstehend zi¬ tierten Druckschrift Components 31 (1993) , Heft 6, Seiten 215 bis 218 beschrieben.The principle of operation of the circuit units listed above is described, for example, in the above-cited publication Components 31 (1993), number 6, pages 215 to 218.
Der beschriebene Schaltungsaufbau nach FIGUR 2 wird bei der Basisstation BS und dem Mobilteil MT gemäß deren Funktion in dem DECT/GAP-System nach FIGUR 1 durch zusätzliche Funktions¬ einheiten ergänzt.The circuit structure described in FIGURE 2 is supplemented by additional functional units in the base station BS and the mobile part MT in accordance with their function in the DECT / GAP system in FIGURE 1.
Die Basisstation BS ist über die Signalverarbeitungseinrich¬ tung SVE und der Telekommunikationsanschlußeinheit TAE bzw. der Nebenstellenanlage NStA mit dem Telekommunikationsnetz TKN verbunden. Als Option kann die Basisstation BS noch eine Bedienoberfläche aufweisen (in FIGUR 2 gestrichelt einge¬ zeichnete Funktionseinheiten), die z.B. aus einer als Tasta¬ tur ausgebildeten Eingabeeinrichtung EE, einer als Display ausgebildeten Anzeigeeinrichtung AE, einer als Handapparat mit Mikrofon MIF und Hδrkapsel HK ausgebildeten Sprech- /Höreinrichtung SHE sowie einer Tonrufklingel TRK betsteht.The base station BS is connected to the telecommunications network TKN via the signal processing device SVE and the telecommunications connection unit TAE or the private branch exchange NStA. As an option, the base station BS can also have a user interface (functional units shown in dashed lines in FIGURE 2), which, for example, consists of an input device EE designed as a keyboard and one as a display trained display device AE, a speech / hearing device SHE designed as a handset with microphone MIF and earphone HK and a ringing bell TRK.
Das Mobilteil MT weist die bei der Basisstation BS als Option mögliche Bedienoberfläche mit den zu dieser Bedienoberfläche gehörenden vorstehend beschriebenen Bedienelementen auf.The mobile part MT has the user interface which is possible as an option with the base station BS, with the control elements described above belonging to this user interface.
FIGUR 3 zeigt ein zellulares DECT/GAP-Multisystem CMI (Cordless Multicell Integration) , bei dem - wie eingangs vor¬ ausgesetzt - mehrere der vorstehend beschriebenen DECT/GAP- Systeme TKS mit jeweils einer Basisstation BS und ei¬ nem/mehreren Mobilteil/en MT an einen beliebigen geographi¬ schen Ort, z.B. in einem Verwaltungsgebäude mit großräumigen Etagenbüros, konzentriert - im Sinne einer „Hot Spot"-FIGURE 3 shows a cellular DECT / GAP multisystem CMI (Cordless Multicell Integration), in which - as previously stated - several of the DECT / GAP systems TKS described above, each with a base station BS and one / several mobile parts MT to any geographical location, for example in an administration building with spacious floor offices, concentrated - in the sense of a "hot spot" -
Anordnung - vorhanden sind. Statt eineε „geschlossenen" geo¬ graphischen Ortes, wie das Verwaltungsgebäude, ist aber auch ein „offener" geographischer Ort mit strategischer Telekommu¬ nikationsbedeutung, z.B. Plätze in Großstädten mit einem ho- hen Verkehrsaufkommen, einer großen Ansammlung von Gewerbe- einheiten und einer großen Bewegung von Menschen, für die In¬ stallation eines zellularen DECT/GAP-Multisystems CMI mög¬ lich. Ein Teil der in dem Großraumbüro angeordneten Basissta- tionen BS sind dabei im Unterschied zu den in den FIGUREN l und 2 gezeigten Basisstationen gemäß der WO94/10764 als An- tenna Diversity-Baεiεεtationen auεgebildet. Die Konzentration der DECT/GAP-Syεteme TKS ist dabei so ausgeprägt (lückenlose Funkabdeckung des geographischen Ortes) , daß einzelne DECT/GAP-Systeme TKS durch die sich überlappenden zellularen DECT/GAP-Funkbereiche FB in der gleichen Umgebung arbeiten.Arrangement - are present. Instead of a "closed" geographical location, such as the administration building, there is also an "open" geographical location with strategic telecommunication meaning, e.g. Places in large cities with a high volume of traffic, a large accumulation of commercial units and a large movement of people, possible for the installation of a cellular DECT / GAP multisystem CMI. In contrast to the base stations shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, part of the base stations BS arranged in the open-plan office are designed as antenna diversity base stations in accordance with WO94 / 10764. The concentration of the DECT / GAP systems TKS is so pronounced (seamless radio coverage of the geographical location) that individual DECT / GAP systems TKS work in the same environment due to the overlapping cellular DECT / GAP radio areas FB.
Gleiche Umgebung kann dabei je nach Überlappungsgrad bedeu¬ ten, daß a) eine erste Basisstation BS1 eines ersten Telekommunikati- onssystems TKS1 in einem ersten Funkbereich FBI und eine zweite Basisstation BS2 eines zweiten Telekommunikations- Systems TKS2 in einem zweiten Funkbereich FB2 angeordnet sind und Telekommunikationsverbindungen zu mindestens ei¬ nem Mobilteil MT1>2 aufbauen können, b) eine dritte Basiεstation BS3 eines dritten Telekommunika¬ tionssystems TKS3 und eine vierte Basisεtation BS4 eines vierten Telekommunikationssystems TKS4 in einem gemeinsa¬ men dritten Funkbereich FB3 angeordnet sind und Telekom¬ munikationsverbindungen zu mindestens einem Mobilteil MT3 4 aufbauen können.Depending on the degree of overlap, the same environment can mean that a) a first base station BS1 of a first telecommunication system TKS1 is arranged in a first radio area FBI and a second base station BS2 of a second telecommunication system TKS2 is arranged in a second radio area FB2 are and can establish telecommunication connections to at least one mobile part MT 1> 2 , b) a third base station BS3 of a third telecommunication system TKS3 and a fourth base station BS4 of a fourth telecommunication system TKS4 are arranged in a common third radio area FB3 and Telekom¬ can establish communication connections to at least one MT 3 4 handset.
Sind die DECT/GAP-Systeme TKS in dem Großraumbüro - wie ein¬ gangs vorausgesetzt - asynchron, d. h. sind die Basisstatio¬ nen BS nicht synchronisiert, so laufen die Zeitbasen dieser Telekommunikationssysteme TKS innerhalb kurzer Zeit auseinan¬ der. Welche Auswirkung dies letztlich auf die in dem System verfügbaren Kanäle und somit auf die Frequenzeffizienz des Systems haben kann, wird anhand der FIGUREN 5 und 6 erläu¬ tert.Are the DECT / GAP systems TKS in the open-plan office - as assumed at the beginning - asynchronous, i. H. if the base stations BS are not synchronized, the time bases of these telecommunication systems TKS diverge within a short time. FIG. 5 and 6 explain what effect this can ultimately have on the channels available in the system and thus on the frequency efficiency of the system.
FIGUR 4 zeigt in Anlehnung an die Druckschrift „Nachrichtentechnik Elektronik 42 (1992) Jan./Feb., Nr. l, Berlin, DE; U. Pilger: "Struktur des DECT-Standards", Seiten 23 bis 29 in Verbindung mit ETS 300 175-1...9, Oktober 1992" die .TDMA-Struktur deε DECT/GAP-Systems TKS. Das DECT/GAP- System ist ein bezüglich der Vielfachzugriffsverfahren hybri- des System, bei dem nach dem FDMA-Prinzip auf zehn Frequenzen im Frequenzband zwischen 1,88 und 1,9 GHz Funknachrichten nach dem TDMA-Prinzip gemäß FIGUR 4 in einer vorgegebenen zeitlichen Abfolge von der Basisstation BS zum Mobilteil MT und vom Mobilteil MT zur Basisstation BS (Duplex-Betrieb) ge- sendet werden können. Die zeitliche Abfolge wird dabei von einem Multi-Zeitrahmen MZR bestimmt, der alle 160 ms auftritt und der 16 Zeitrahmen ZR mit jeweils einer Zeitdauer von 10 ms aufweist. In diesen Zeitrahmen ZR werden nach Basisstation BS und Mobilteil MT getrennt Informationen übertragen, die einen im DECT-Standard definierten C-,M-,N-,P-,Q-Kanal be¬ treffen. Werden in einem Zeitrahmen ZR Informationen für meh¬ rere dieser Kanäle übertragen, so erfolgt die Übertragung nach einer .Prioritätenliste mit M > C > N und P > N. Jeder der 16 Zeitrahmen ZR des Multi-Zeitrahmens MZR unterteilt sich wiederum in 24 Zeitschlitze ZS mit jeweils einer Zeit¬ dauer von 417 μs, von denen 12 Zeitschlitze ZS (Zeitschlitze 0 ... 11) für die Übertragungsrichtung „Basisstation BS —> Mobilteil MT" und weitere 12 Zeitschlitze ZS (Zeitschlitze 12 ... 23) für die Übertragungsrichtung „Mobilteil MT —> Basis- Station BS" bestimmt sind. In jedem dieser Zeitschlitze ZS werden nach dem DECT-Standard Informationen mit einer Bitlän- ge von 480 Bit übertragen. Von diesen 480 Bit werden 32 Bit als Synchronisationsinformation in einem SYNC-Feld und 388 Bit als Nutzinformation in einem D-Feld übertragen. Die rest¬ lichen 60 Bit werden als Zusatzinformationen in einem Z-Feld und als Schutzinformationen in einem Feld „Guard-Time" über- tragen. Die als Nutzinformationen übertragenen 388 Bit des D- Feldes unterteilen sich wiederum in ein 64 Bit langes A-Feld, ein 320 Bit langes B-Feld und ein 4 Bit langes „X-CRC"-Wort. Das 64 Bit lange A-Feld setzt sich auε einem 8 Bit langen Da¬ tenkopf (Header) , einem 40 Bit langen Datensatz mit Daten für die C-,Q-,M-,N-,P-Kanäle und einem 16 Bit langen „A-CRC"-Wort zusammen.FIGURE 4 shows, based on the publication “Message Technology Electronics 42 (1992) Jan./Feb., No. 1, Berlin, DE; U. Pilger: "Structure of the DECT standard", pages 23 to 29 in connection with ETS 300 175-1 ... 9, October 1992 "the .TDMA structure of the DECT / GAP system TKS. The DECT / GAP System is a hybrid system with regard to the multiple access methods, in which radio messages according to the FDMA principle on ten frequencies in the frequency band between 1.88 and 1.9 GHz are based on the TDMA principle according to FIG. 4 in a predetermined time sequence from the base station BS can be sent to the mobile part MT and from the mobile part MT to the base station BS (duplex operation) The time sequence is determined by a multi-time frame MZR that occurs every 160 ms and the 16 time frame ZR with a duration of 10 each In this time frame ZR, information relating to a C, M, N, P, Q channel defined in the DECT standard is transmitted separately from base station BS and mobile part MT transmitted for several of these channels, so e the transmission follows according to a list of priorities with M>C> N and P> N. Each of the 16 time frames ZR of the multi-time frame MZR is subdivided into 24 time slots ZS each with a time duration of 417 μs, of which 12 time slots ZS (time slots 0 ... 11) for the transmission direction "base station BS -> mobile unit MT" and a further 12 time slots ZS (time slots 12 ... 23) for the transmission direction "mobile unit MT -> base station BS". Information with a bit length of 480 bits is transmitted in each of these time slots ZS according to the DECT standard. Of these 480 bits, 32 bits are transmitted as synchronization information in a SYNC field and 388 bits as useful information in a D field. The remaining 60 bits are transmitted as additional information in a Z field and as protection information in a “guard time” field. The 388 bits of the D field transmitted as useful information are in turn divided into a 64 bit long A field , a 320 bit long B field and a 4 bit long "X-CRC" word. The 64-bit A field is composed of an 8-bit data header, a 40-bit data record with data for the C, Q, M, N, P channels and a 16-bit long "A-CRC" word together.
FIGUR 5 zeigt in Anlehnung an die FIGUREN 3 und 4 zwei gegen¬ einander beliebig versetzte Zeitrahmen ZR-A, ZR-B und Zeit- schlitze ZS-A, ZS-B für die ÜbertragungsrichtungFIG. 5 shows two time frames ZR-A, ZR-B and time slots ZS-A, ZS-B for the transmission direction based on FIGS
„Basisstation BS —> Mobilteil MT" von zwei DECT/GAP-Systemen „A", „B", die in der gleichen Umgebung eines zellularen DECT/GAP-Multisystems arbeiten. Die Zeitrahmen ZR-A, ZR- B und Zeitschlitze ZS-A, ZS-B der beiden Systeme „A", „B" sind derart gegeneinander versetzt, daß ein von dem System „A" be¬ legter Zeitschlitz ZS-A zwei Positionen für potentielle Zeit- schlitze ZS-B des Systems „B" blockiert. Dies kann im schlimmsten Fall (worst case) dazu führen, daß - wenn das Sy¬ stem „A" bereits 50 % seiner Kanäle; d. h. sechs Zeitschlitze von den insgesamt zur Verfügung stehenden 12 Zeitschlitzen; z.B. gemäß der oberen Rechteckdarsteilung in FIGUR 5 belegt hat, bevor das System „B" versucht, seinen ersten Kanal zu belegen - das System „B" keinen freien Kanal (Zeitschlitz) mehr findet. Dieser Fall ist jedoch für die Praxis eher un¬ realistisch, weil dies bedeuten würde, daß daε Syεtem „B" so gut wie kein Aufkommen an Funkverkehr hat, wenn bereits vor der ersten Kanalbelegung im System „B" das System „A" bereits 50 % seiner Kanäle belegt hat."Base station BS -> mobile part MT" of two DECT / GAP systems "A", "B", which work in the same environment as a cellular DECT / GAP multisystem. The time frames ZR-A, ZR-B and time slots ZS- A, ZS-B of the two systems “A”, “B” are offset from one another in such a way that a time slot ZS-A occupied by system “A” has two positions for potential time slots ZS-B of system “B” In the worst case (worst case), this can lead to the fact that - if the system "A" already has 50% of its channels; ie six time slots out of a total of 12 time slots available; For example, according to the upper rectangular representation in FIG. 5, before the system "B" tries to close its first channel prove - the system "B" no longer finds a free channel (time slot). However, this case is rather unrealistic in practice because this would mean that the system "B" has virtually no traffic volume, if it already does before the first channel assignment in system "B", system "A" already occupied 50% of its channels.
Eine wesentlich praxisnähere Situation zeigt - in Anlehnung an die FIGUREN 3 und 4 - die FIGUR 6. Wie bei FIGUR 5 sind wiederum zwei DECT/GAP-Systeme „C", „D" in einem zellularen DECT/GAP-Multisystem derart angeordnet, daß die beiden Syste¬ me „C", „D" in der gleichen Umgebung arbeiten und daß auf¬ grund der fehlenden Synchronisation der in diesen Systemen vorhandenen Basisstationen Zeitrahmen ZR-C, ZR-D und Zeit- schlitze ZS-C, ZS-D auseinanderlaufen. Im Unterschied zu der Situation in FIGUR 5 wird nun der praxisnähere Fall angenom¬ men, daß sich daε Aufkommen an Funkverkehr gleichmäßig auf die beiden Systeme „C", „D" verteilt und die Belegung der Ka¬ näle - im Unterschied zu der Situation in FIGUR 5 - abwech- selnd durch die beiden Systeme erfolgt. Erfolgt die Kanalbe¬ legung (ZeitSchlitzbelegung) durch die beiden Systeme „C", „D" gemäß der Darstellung der dunklen Rechtecke in FIGUR 6, so ergibt sich eine Anzahl von insgesamt acht Kanälen (Zeitschlitzen) , die von den beiden Systemen belegt werden können. Die Ausbeute an belegten Kanälen ist dabei gegenüber synchronisierten DECT/GAP-Systemen „C", „D" um ein Drittel geringer.FIGURE 6 shows a much more practical situation - based on FIGURES 3 and 4. As in FIGURE 5, two DECT / GAP systems "C", "D" are arranged in a cellular DECT / GAP multisystem such that the two systems “C”, “D” work in the same environment and that due to the lack of synchronization of the base stations present in these systems, time frames ZR-C, ZR-D and time slots ZS-C, ZS-D diverge. In contrast to the situation in FIG. 5, the more practical case is now assumed that the amount of radio traffic is distributed evenly between the two systems “C”, “D” and the assignment of the channels - in contrast to the situation in FIG FIGURE 5 - alternating between the two systems. If the channel allocation (time slot allocation) takes place through the two systems “C”, “D” according to the representation of the dark rectangles in FIG. 6, there is a total of eight channels (time slots) that can be occupied by the two systems . The yield of channels occupied is less than a third compared to synchronized DECT / GAP systems "C", "D".
Diese gegenüber vergleichbaren synchronisierten Systemen ge- ringer ausfallende Kanalausbeute ist ein Grund für die Forde¬ rung, daß bei einer örtlichen Konzentration von drahtlosen Telekommunikationssystemen, z. B. DECT/GAP-Systemen gemäß den FIGUREN 1 und 2 die Basisstationen dieser Systeme synchroni¬ siert sein müssen.This channel yield, which is lower compared to comparable synchronized systems, is one reason for the requirement that with a local concentration of wireless telecommunication systems, e.g. B. DECT / GAP systems according to FIGURES 1 and 2, the base stations of these systems must be synchronized.
Die Forderung nach synchronisierten Basisstationen innerhalb eines zellularen DECT/GAP-Multisystemε nach FIGUR 3 wird au- ßerdem dadurch begründet, daß für den Betrieb des zellularen DECT/GAP-Multisystems - im Sinne einer mobilen Telekommunika¬ tion - in Analogie zum zellularen Mobilfunksystem - z. B. nach dem GSM-Standard (Groupe Specicale Mobile oder Global System for Mobile Communication; vgl. Informatik Spektrum 14 (1991) Juni, Nr. 3, Berlin, DE; A. Mann: "Der GSM-Standard - Grundlage für digitale europäische Mobilfunknetze", Seiten 137 bis 152) - die Realisierung εystemspezifiεcher Leistungs- merkmale, wie "Roaming (mit einem Mobilteil durch den zellu- laren Multifunkbereich wandern) , Handover (Weiterreichen ei¬ ner Duplex-Funkverbindung "Basisstation" <-» "Mobilteil" in¬ nerhalb eines Funkbereiches/einer Zelle (Intra-Cell Handover) und im Überschneidungsbereich (Überlappungsbereich) von zwei Funkbereichen/Funkzellen (Inter-Cell Handover) , vorausgeεetzt wird. Dafür iεt eine entsprechende Koordination der in dem DECT/GAP-Syεtem nach den FIGUREN 1 und 2 ablaufenden Funkti- onεabläufe erforderlich. Um hierbei weiteεtgehend auf eine Koordination von außen, d. h. von dem leitungsgebundenen öf¬ fentlichen Telefonnetz verzichten zu können, ist gemäß dem DECT-Standard das Dynamic Channel Allocation-Verfahren (DCA- Verfahren) vorgesehen. Wenn z. B. eine DECT-Verbindung aufge¬ baut wird, wird diejenige Frequenz und dasjenige Zeitfenster mit der geringsten Interferenz gesucht. Die Höhe (Stärke) der Interferenz hängt vorrangig davon ab, ob (a) bereits an einer anderen Basisstation ein Gespräch ge¬ führt wird oder (b) ein Mobilteil durch Bewegung in Sichtkontakt mit einer zuvor abgeschatteten Basisstation kommt.The demand for synchronized base stations within a cellular DECT / GAP multisystem according to FIG. 3 is also Also justified by the fact that for the operation of the cellular DECT / GAP multisystem - in the sense of a mobile telecommunications - in analogy to the cellular mobile radio system - e.g. B. according to the GSM standard (Groupe Specicale Mobile or Global System for Mobile Communication; cf. Informatik Spektrum 14 (1991) June, No. 3, Berlin, DE; A. Mann: "The GSM standard - basis for digital European Mobile radio networks ", pages 137 to 152) - the implementation of system-specific features, such as" roaming (roaming through the cellular multifunctional area with a handset), handover (handing over a duplex radio connection "base station"<-»" handset " within a radio area / cell (intra-cell handover) and in the overlap area (overlap area) of two radio areas / radio cells (inter-cell handover), this requires a corresponding coordination of those in the DECT / GAP system according to the FIGURES 1 and 2 are required in order to be able to largely dispense with coordination from outside, ie from the line-bound public telephone network, according to DECT-St The Dynamic Channel Allocation procedure (DCA procedure) is provided. If e.g. B. a DECT connection is established, the frequency and the time window with the least interference are sought. The level (strength) of the interference depends primarily on whether (a) a call is already being made at another base station or (b) a mobile part comes into visual contact with a previously shadowed base station by movement.
Eine sich hieraus ergebende Erhöhung der Interferenz kann mit dem dem DECT/GAP-System zugrundegelegten TDMA-Übertragungs- verfahren (Time Division Multiple Access) begegnet werden. Nach dem TDMA-Verfahren wird lediglich ein Zeitschlitz für die eigentliche Übertragung gebraucht; die übrigen elf Zeit- schlitze können für Messungen verwendet werden. Dadurch kann ein alternatives Frequenz/Zeitschlitzpaar ermittelt werden, auf das die Verbindung umgeschaltet werden kann. Dies ge- schiebt im Rahmen einer adaptiven KanalZuweisung gemäß dem DECT-Standard (vgl. Nachrichtentechnik Elektronik 42 (1992) Jan./Feb., Nr. 1, Berlin; U. Pilger: "Struktur des DECT-Stan- dardε", Seite 28 Kap.3.2.6) durch ein "Connection Handover" (Intra-Cell Handover) .A resulting increase in interference can be countered with the TDMA transmission method (Time Division Multiple Access) on which the DECT / GAP system is based. According to the TDMA method, only one time slot is used for the actual transmission; the remaining eleven time slots can be used for measurements. This enables an alternative frequency / time slot pair to be determined, to which the connection can be switched. This pushes within the framework of an adaptive channel allocation according to the DECT standard (cf. Nachrichtenentechnik Elektronik 42 (1992) Jan./Feb., No. 1, Berlin; U. Pilger: "Structure of the DECT standard", page 28 chap. 3.2.6) by a "connection handover" (intra-cell handover).
Um nun neben dem "Intra-Cell Handover" insbesondere das bei zellularen DECT-Systemen regelmäßig auftretende "Inter-Cell Handover"-Problem in den Begriff zu bekommen, muß das für solche zellularen DECT/GAP-Systeme vorgesehene Mobilteil zu jedem Zeitpunkt einer aktiven Telekommunikationεverbindung zu einer BasiεStation in der Lage sein, bedingt durch einen Funkbereichswechsel/Zellenwechsel innerhalb des Multi- Funkbereichs die Basisstation zu wechseln (Aufbau einer Tele- kommunikationsverbindung zu einer anderen Basisstation, wenn das Mobilteil sich in einem Überschneidungsbereich von zwei Funkbereichen/Funkzellen befindet) und dabei die bereits be¬ stehende aktive Telekommunikationsverbindung unterbrechungs- frei (seamless) an die Basisstation weiterzureichen (seamless Handover) .In order to get in addition to the "intra-cell handover" in particular the "inter-cell handover" problem that regularly occurs in cellular DECT systems, the handset provided for such cellular DECT / GAP systems must be active at all times Telecommunication connection to a base station be able to change the base station due to a radio area change / cell change within the multi-radio area (establishment of a telecommunication connection to another base station if the handset is in an overlap area of two radio areas / radio cells) and pass the already existing active telecommunications connection seamlessly to the base station (seamless handover).
Der DECT-Standard sieht hierfür gemäß der Druckschrift Nach¬ richtentechnik Elektronik 42 (1992) Jan./Feb., Nr. 1, Berlin; U. Pilger: "Struktur des DECT-Standards", Seite 28 Kap.3.2.6 vor, daß das Mobilteil selbεtändig bei einer Verschlechterung der Übertragungsqualität der bestehenden Telekommunikations¬ verbindung aufgrund von die Übertragungsqualität angebenden Indikatoren (z. B. Signalfeldεtärke, CRC-Werte etc.) parallel zu der beεtehenden Verbindung eine zweite Telekommunikations- Verbindung aufbaut. Bei dieser "Inter-Cell Handover"-Prozedur wird die Tatsache, das Mobilteil im Rahmen der dynamischen, dezentralisierten KanalZuweisung (DCA-Verfahren) ständig über den Status der in der momentanen Umgebung verfügbaren Kanäle informiert sind, derart ausgenutzt, daß die zweite Verbindung aufgrund des Eintrages in eine Kanalliste aufgebaut wird. Ein unterbrechungsfreies Handover ist mit der vorstehenden Prozedur nur dann möglich, wenn das Mobilteil sich in einem DECT/GAP-Multisystem mit synchroniεierten Basisstationen be¬ findet. In einem solchen synchronen zellularen Syεtem kann das Mobilteil dann zusätzlich zu der bereits bestehenden Te¬ lekommunikationsverbindung zu einer Basisstation (Ursprungs-. Basisstation) mindestens eine weitere Verbindung zu einer an¬ deren Basisstation aufbauen, ohne dabei die Synchronität zur Ursprungs-Basisεtation zu verlieren.The DECT standard provides for this according to the publication Nach¬ Technik Electronics 42 (1992) Jan./Feb., No. 1, Berlin; U. Pilger: "Structure of the DECT standard", page 28, chapter 3.2.6, stipulates that the handset will automatically work if the transmission quality of the existing telecommunications connection deteriorates due to indicators indicating the transmission quality (e.g. signal field strength, CRC Values etc.) sets up a second telecommunication connection parallel to the existing connection. In this "inter-cell handover" procedure, the fact that the handset is constantly informed about the status of the channels available in the current environment as part of the dynamic, decentralized channel allocation (DCA method) is used in such a way that the second connection is due to of the entry in a channel list. An uninterrupted handover is only possible with the above procedure if the handset is in a DECT / GAP multisystem with synchronized base stations. In such a synchronous cellular system, in addition to the already existing telecommunication connection to a base station (origin. Base station), the mobile part can then set up at least one further connection to another base station without losing synchronicity with the origin base station.
Ein solches synchroneε zellulares DECT/GAP-Multisystem kann gemäß der Druckschrift ntz Bd.48 (1995) , Heft 1, Seiten 47-49 „DECT-Technik für den europäischen Markt" durch eine zusätz¬ liche Drahtverbindung zwischen den Basisstationen realisiert werden (vgl. vorstehend genannte Druckschrift Seite 48 letz¬ ter Absatz bis Seite 49 erster Absatz und Bild 2) .Such a synchronous cellular DECT / GAP multisystem can be implemented according to the document ntz vol.48 (1995), number 1, pages 47-49 "DECT technology for the European market" by an additional wire connection between the base stations (cf. the above-mentioned publication, page 48, last paragraph to page 49, first paragraph and picture 2).

Patentanspruch 2 in Verbin¬ dung mit der Beschreibung der FIGUR 3 in der nachveröffent¬ lichten deutschen Patentanmeldung P 195 36 587.9).In addition, according to the post-published German patent application P 195 19 966.9, it is possible to use the SQ- to use a cellular DECT / GAP multisystem that is connected to a switching system (eg PABX, DOVst) via an S 0 bus.

This method can also be combined with the aforementioned time signal information method (cf. claim 2 in conjunction with the description of FIG. 3 in the subsequently published German patent application P 195 36 587.9).
Bei all den vorstehend genannten Methoden zur Synchronisation eines zellularen DECT/GAP-Multisystemε iεt entweder zusätzli- cher Aufwand im Funkteil der Baεiεstationen in den DECT/GAP- Systemem zum Empfangen der Zeitzeicheninformation oder zu¬ sätzlicher Systemaufwand bei der Synchronisation über den S0- Bus erforderlich.With all of the above methods of synchronization A cellular DECT / GAP multi-system either requires additional effort in the radio part of the base stations in the DECT / GAP systems to receive the time signal information or additional system effort for synchronization via the S 0 bus.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der FIGUREN 7 und 8 erläutert. Es zeigenAn embodiment of the invention will be explained with reference to FIGURES 7 and 8. Show it
FIGUR 7 die Kanalbelegung von zwei in der gleichen Umgebung eines DECT/GAP-MultiSystems arbeitenden DECT/GAP-Systemen,7 shows the channel assignment of two DECT / GAP systems working in the same environment of a DECT / GAP MultiSystem,
FIGUR 8 den prinzipiellen Schaltungsaufbau von DECT/GAP- Basisεtation und DECT/GAP-Mobilteil der DECT/GAP-Systeme nach FIGUR 7.FIG. 8 shows the basic circuit structure of the DECT / GAP base station and DECT / GAP mobile part of the DECT / GAP systems according to FIG. 7.
FIGUR 7 zeigt ausgehend von den FIGUREN 3 bis 6 zwei gegen¬ einander beliebig versetzte Zeitrahmen ZR1, ZR2 bzw. ZR3, ZR4 und Zeitschlitze ZSl, ZS2 bzw. ZS3, ZS4 für die Übertragungs- richtung „Basiεεtation —► Mobilteil" von den zwei DECT/GAP- Syεtemen TKS1, TKS2 bzw. TKS3, TKS4 nach FIGUR 3, die in der gleichen Umgebung deε zellularen DECT/GAP-Multisystems arbei¬ ten. Die Zeitrahmen ZR1, ZR2 bzw. ZR3, ZR4 und Zeitschlitze ZSl, ZS2 bzw. ZS3, ZS4 der beiden Systeme TKS1, TKS2 bzw. TKS3, TKS4 εind derart gegeneinander verεetzt, daß ein von dem Syεtem TKS1 bzw. TKS3 belegter Zeitεchlitz ZSl bzw. ZS3 zwei Poεitionen für potentielle Zeitεchlitze ZS2 bzw. ZS4 des Systems TKS2 bzw. TKS4 blockiert.FIGURE 7 shows, starting from FIGURES 3 to 6, two time frames ZR1, ZR2 or ZR3, ZR4 and time slots ZS1, ZS2 or ZS3, ZS4 for the transmission Direction “base station —► handset” of the two DECT / GAP systems TKS1, TKS2 or TKS3, TKS4 according to FIG. 3, which work in the same environment as the cellular DECT / GAP multisystems. The time frames ZR1, ZR2 and ZR3, ZR4 and time slots ZS1, ZS2 or ZS3, ZS4 of the two systems TKS1, TKS2 or TKS3, TKS4 are offset against one another in such a way that a time slot ZS1 or TKS3 occupied by the system TKS1 or TKS3 has two positions for potential time slots ZS2 or ZS4 of the system TKS2 or TKS4 blocked.
Um dieses zu verhindern, laufen in den Basisstationen BS1, BS2 bzw. BS3, BS4 der DECT/GAP-Systeme TKS1, TKS2 bzw. TKS3, TKS4 folgende Funktionsschritte im Rahmen des basisεtations- spezifischen Funktionsablaufes ab.In order to prevent this, the following functional steps take place in the base stations BS1, BS2 or BS3, BS4 of the DECT / GAP systems TKS1, TKS2 or TKS3, TKS4 within the framework of the base station-specific functional sequence.
Zunächst werden vor dem Aufbau der ersten Telekommunikations- Verbindung in dem jeweiligen DECT/GAP-System TKS1, TKS2 bzw. TKS3, TKS4 auf durch das FDMA-Prinzip vorgegebenen Frequenzen von DECT/GAP-Telekommunikationssignalen und für eine Zeitdau- er von mindestenε einem DECT/GAP-Zeitrahmen ZRl, ZR2 bzw. ZR3, ZR4, die im konkreten Fall - nach FIGUR 4 - 10 mε ent¬ spricht, die Pegel der DECT/GAP-Signale gemessen. Diese Mes¬ sung wird in jedem DECT/GAP-System solange durchgeführt, bis eine FDMA-Frequenz gefunden worden ist, auf der kein Zeit- schlitz der Zeitschlitze ZSl, ZS2 bzw. ZS3, ZS4 belegt ist. Auf einem beliebigen Zeitschlitz dieser FDMA-Frequenz wird dann mit Priorität die erste Telekommunikationsverbindung aufgebaut.First, before establishing the first telecommunication connection in the respective DECT / GAP system TKS1, TKS2 or TKS3, TKS4, frequencies of DECT / GAP telecommunication signals predetermined by the FDMA principle and for a time period of at least one DECT / GAP time frame ZR1, ZR2 or ZR3, ZR4, which corresponds in the specific case - according to FIG. 4 - 10 mε, the levels of the DECT / GAP signals measured. This measurement is carried out in every DECT / GAP system until an FDMA frequency has been found on which no time slot of the time slots ZS1, ZS2 or ZS3, ZS4 is occupied. The first telecommunication connection is then set up with priority on any time slot of this FDMA frequency.
Wird kein „freier" Zeitschlitz ermittelt, dann verhalten sich die DECT/GAP-Syεteme wie in den FIGUREN 2 biε 6 dargeεtellt; d.h. eε treten u.U. wieder gegenεeitige Kanalblockaden durch die in der gleichen Umgebung arbeitenden DECT/GAP-Syεteme auf.If no "free" time slot is determined, then the DECT / GAP systems behave as shown in FIGURES 2 to 6; i.e., channel blockages from one another may occur again due to the DECT / GAP systems working in the same environment.
Anschließend werden die Nummer der zu der ersten Telekommuni¬ kationsverbindung gehörenden FDMA-Frequenz und die Nummer deε zu der ersten Telekommunikationsverbindung gehörenden Zeit- schlitzes gespeichert. Danach werden alle weiteren Telekommu¬ nikationsverbindungen des jeweilgen DECT/GAP-Systemε TKSl, TKS2 bzw. TKS3, TKS4 von der betreffenden Baεisstation BS1, BS2 bzw. BS3, BS4 mit Priorität jeweils in weiteren Zeit- schlitzen auf der gleichen FDMA-Frequenz aufgebaut.Then the number of the FDMA frequency belonging to the first telecommunication connection and the number deε time slot belonging to the first telecommunication connection is stored. Thereafter, all further telecommunications connections of the respective DECT / GAP system TKS1, TKS2 or TKS3, TKS4 are set up by the relevant base station BS1, BS2 or BS3, BS4 with priority in each case in further time slots on the same FDMA frequency.
Nach der gleichen Methode werden die im DECT-Standard defi¬ nierten „Dummy Bearer" (vgl. ETS 300 175-3, Kap. 5.5 und 5.7; Oktober 1992) positioniert und die Handover-Verbindungen auf¬ baut.Using the same method, the "dummy bearers" defined in the DECT standard (cf. ETS 300 175-3, chapters 5.5 and 5.7; October 1992) are positioned and the handover connections are established.
Mit dieser Methode wird gleichzeitig das Problem reduziert, das dadurch entsteht, daß die Zeitraster der einzelnen DECT/GAP-Systeme aufgrund der fehlenden Synchronisation ihre relative Position zueinander ständig ändern. Diese Drift der einzelnen Zeitbasen führt dazu, daß Zeitschlitze, die beim Verbindungsaufbau „frei" waren, nach einer gewisεen Zeit in¬ einander driften können, was zur Zerstörung der Daten und da- mit zu Störungen der Übertragung führt.This method simultaneously reduces the problem that arises from the fact that the time slots of the individual DECT / GAP systems constantly change their relative position to one another due to the lack of synchronization. This drift of the individual time bases means that time slots which were "free" when the connection was established can drift into one another after a certain time, which leads to the destruction of the data and thus to interference in the transmission.
Folgen alle DECT/GAP-Systeme diesem Algorithmus/dieser Metho¬ de, so wird gemäß FIGUR 7 (helle und dunkle Rechtecke) je¬ weils nur eine FDMA-Frequenz von einem DECT/GAP-System belegt und damit gleichzeitig eine Synchroniεation der Zeitεchlitze auf dieεer Frequenz hergeεtellt.If all DECT / GAP systems follow this algorithm / this method, then according to FIG. 7 (light and dark rectangles) only one FDMA frequency is occupied by a DECT / GAP system and thus at the same time the time slots are synchronized this frequency manufactured.
FIGUR 8 zeigt auεgehend von FIGUR 2 und unter Berücksichti¬ gung von FIGUR 3 den prinzipiellen zur Durchführung der vor- stehend beschriebenen Funktionsεchritte modifizierten Schal- tungεaufbau der Basisstationen BSl, BS2 bzw. BS3, BS4. Das Funkteil FKT weist zusätzlich zur Messung der Pegel der über die DECT/GAP-Luftschnittstelle ANT, PGM empfangenen DECT/GAP- Trägersignale Meßmittel MM auf. Diese Meßmittel MM sind über einen Analog/Digital-Wandler mit Vergleichsmittel VGM in der- der Zentralen Steuerung ZST verbunden. Die Vergleichsmittel VGM haben eine Verbindung zu einem Speicher SP und zu dem Mi- kroprozessor μP. Der Mikroprozessor μP hat wiederum über Steuermittel STM der Zentralen Steuerung ZST eine Verbindung zu den Meßmitteln MM in dem Funkteil FKT. FIGURE 8 shows, starting from FIGURE 2 and taking FIGURE 3 into account, the basic circuit configuration of the base stations BS1, BS2 or BS3, BS4 modified to carry out the above-described functional steps. In addition to measuring the level of the DECT / GAP carrier signals received via the DECT / GAP air interface ANT, PGM, the radio part FKT has measuring means MM. These measuring devices MM are connected via an analog / digital converter to comparison devices VGM in the central control ZST. The comparison means VGM have a connection to a memory SP and to the mi microprocessor μP. The microprocessor μP in turn has a connection to the measuring means MM in the radio part FKT via control means STM of the central control ZST.
